Data Visualization with Mashups

Background reading, one or more pointers/documents and a brief synopsis of what's covered in them

Lecture notes - outline form

  • what data do I need?
  • where do I find data?
    • coordinating multiple data sources
  • how do i encode that data to be useful?
  • what can i discover through visualization?
  • how much data do i need to be useful?
  • examples

Classroom response questions - at least three

Lab activity - materials, process and software

  • Quaker meetings, <metric X> mashed up on map ( database; we own it )
  • Using WebDB to map dorms to major, possibly over time (This one may not work due to not being able to access relevant data)

Scheduling - early, late, dependencies on other units, length of unit

Timing

Doesn't matter

Length

One week; but if we find enough material it could be (and would serve well as) two

Archived stuff
